So Londoners, what do you want to be when you're dead?

The London Funeral Exhibition was on over the weekend. Snipe didn’t go, regrettably, but we read the blog of someone who did. And Sue Bailey doesn’t want to be cremated any more:
I spent an utterly brilliant day at the London Funeral Exhibition at Epping Forest Burial Park…Burial at the park is done in an environmentally sustainable way: that means biodegradable coffins, wooden memorials only, in land that – once it’s full – will revert to natural woodland…I like the idea of feeding trees very much.
I still maintain hopes of being interred in a gigantic mausoleum carved in the shape of my own face, located on a specially built island in the middle of the Thames. What are your plans, readers?
